Take a screen shot then load it into your paint program and draw on it from there.

Save the google earth shot to "My Pictures" or "My Documents." Then once it's there, bring the photo up through that location and then open up the 'Paint' program if loaded onto your computer (should be).

Start drawing!

Man, I've been writing on my screen with crayons all this time wondering why it's not working.[8D]

Yeah, what those guys said is right.

Took me about 5 minutes, Landon, to add all this on my first try in paint.

You can also create your own google map (as long as you have a google account), which you can add pushpins (like in Jeff's picture), pinpoints, lines, shading, label's, etc. You do it all online, and you can make the map public or private, as well as link it to post on forums like this. I've used both, but prefer taking a screenshot, and using Photoshop just because it's more flexible, but creating your own google map is nice, doesn't require downloading/uploading, and it's free.
